In the past, women have not had an easy life… They have always been considered inferior to men and have had to fight to have their rights recognized.
This fight still continues to this day. Italy is no exception, where women still have difficulty achieving full equality with men. Yet despite this, there are some women in Italy who have managed to break the mould and have actually changed history! There may be only a few of them but we are going to talk about four of them who, if you ask me, truly deserve to be acknowledged.
This podcast is in 100% Italian – spoken at a slower pace, in clear and authentic Italian. It has been designed specifically as a Listening and Comprehension exercise to help you improve your Italian.

▷ LISTENING TO THE PODCAST:
- Listen to the audio once. Don’t focus on trying to understand every single word and sentence.
The aim is to get the overall meaning. What is Manu talking about? - Listen to it again and see if you can pick out the key words and find the answers to the questions as you listen.
- Listen to the audio as many times as you need – the more you listen the more you will understand. Try and identify words that you don’t know the meaning of and look them up.
The most important thing is that you listen more than once!
